Covington FirstAlert Forecast for Monday, July 30th, 2012 (Evening)

Note: We had a power outage Friday Evening. That is why there was no forecast Friday Night. It did come back on our 10PM EDT, but by the time I would get everything back up and running, it would be too late to post. It was just better to just skip it for the evening.

Watches, Warnings, and Advisories
None

We are really in the “Dog Days of Summer.” Another hot one today and we are going to try to stay hot again for the next seven days. Tonight skies stay partly cloudy, meaning that we will not lose all of our daytime heating, with lows in the upper 60s. If you want to keep the windows open go for it. If you want the AC on, go for it. It will just be one of those nights.

Tuesday and Tuesday Night: We have a cold front that will start to enter the Illiana area after the midday hour and should in Illiana and the heart of the Wabash Valley in the evening hours. This front will spark off a few showers and thunderstorms. If you get one, you are going to be lucky. Before the front moves in, skies should be mostly sunny for the day with highs in the lower 90s. Tuesday Night is when we start to cool down and head towards the lower 60s for lows. No debating on if the windows should be open or closed.

Wednesday thru Thursday: The cold front will keep our temps below 90 for Wednesday, but skies will stay on the sunny side thanks to high pressure over Lake Michigan. Wednesday Night will once again be a nice night to leave the windows open with lows in the lower 60s under mostly clear to clear skies. Thursday we start to see temps rise again into the lower 90s under sunny skies.

Friday and the Weekend: This is where our chances of rain really do start to come into play. We have a cold front that will move in during Friday giving us about a 35% chance of rain. Rain chances for Saturday go down to 25% and Sunday just under 20%. Highs for all three days will stay around 90 under partly cloudy/sunny skies.

Monday: Once again on the back side of a cold front with high pressure moving in. Highs for next Monday staying in the upper 80s with partly sunny skies to start the day and turning to mostly sunny.

Severe Weather Risk: SPC has not place us under a Slight Risk of severe weather for tonight, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and days 4-8 do not have anything severe at this time. However, some of our thunderstorms in the forecast could be at times on the strong side. Main threats should just be wind.
